His beard, when unbraided, is easily long enough to reach his knees, ebon locks thicker than the hair on most humanoids' heads, which cascade over an ample (though not obese) stomach. His barrel chest sort of rolls upward into his mountainous shoulders, which are the base for a thickly muscled neck. His muscular arms are corded and heavy, and his hands end in stubby, powerful fingers. His mustache flows into his beard, and is crested with a short, broad nose. Above this are his eyes, two points of twinkling amber amidst his tanned skin. In typical Dwarf fashion, his legs are also thick and stump-like, overall giving Bruggin the appearance of a lump of rock. There are no glowing words to describe the hair on his head, however; Bruggin is bald.He typically dresses in simple, durable garments fashioned from cotton and leather. His garb of choice is a black leather vest, often left open to expose his barrel chest, and obviously exposing his arms, which he takes great pride in for their strength. In the morning, part of his prayer to Clanggedin is his braiding of his beard. During the day, he wears two thick, tightly woven braids on either side of the main flow of his beard, which, when his side braids are in place, only reaches to just below his sternum. His trousers are gray, tightly woven cotton affairs which are cut slightly long that he might tuck them into his black, leather boots and let them hang over slightly. His belt is broad, and made of cured, black leather with a simple silver buckle.Hanging from leather thongs at his belt are his weapons; his maul (which he treasures), his waraxe (which he inherited), and his “throwing” axes, which are enchanted that he might use them again should he throw them. He will often carry at the least his maul openly, keeping his other weapons stowed, though he often stubbornly holds that when his maul is bared, it's companion (his axe) so should be too.In the tradition of his forefathers, Bruggin disdains shields. His armor is relatively unadorned, crafted entirely of mithral and made for battle and utility. From heavy shoulder plates to thick greaves, the armor gleams in the light. His helm he prizes most of all, for it was his father's. The helm is what we would call a spartan styled helm, save that in place of a plume or horsehair crest is a mithral one about six inches tall at it's apex. Portions of the helm's crest have been alchemically darkened to decorate it with Dwarven runes, and the same specially wrought runes are found elsewhere on the armor itself, with two especially large runes, one on each shoulder plate, prominently displayed. The one on his right is the Dwarven rune for "Strength.", whilst on his left is the Dwarven rune for "Warrior.". On his back is a single massive runic tribute to Clangeddin, so that the foes he leaves crumpled in his wake will always see who's champion so mightily ruined them.On his axe he bears in runes the name of his clan, since he nowadays goes by his nickname instead; his proper name is Torunn. Since he is the last Torunn in Citadel Adbar, his clan name is only seen on the side of his waraxe's head. On the other side is the symbol of Moradin, Father of the Dwarves. On his maul's head on either side is the symbol of Clangeddin, the crossed battleaxes, and on his “throwing” axes the mark of Clangeddin can again be found.[/sblock][sblock]Biography: The only son of Thane Gorrum Torunn and his wife Orligard, the year Bruggin was born was a good year for the Dwarves of Citadel Adbar. Despite it being an obvious coincidence, the Dwarves viewed it as a sign that the other Dwarf children born that year would have great success and fortune.While Bruggin's mother, a cleric of Dumathoin, was skilled in many crafts, she humbly stepped aside before her far more martial husband's wishes. Thus was Bruggin focused far more on feats of weaponry than the skills of an artisan. In the evenings as he grew up, whilst his mighty patriarch (for that is indeed who Gorrum was; patriach of the Clan) rested from his exertions that day with ale and food, Orligard instructed the Dwarfling repeatedly about the Dwarven gods, focusing on the patron of the Clan, Moradin, and continuing from there. And so it went for the first forty years of Bruggin's life. As he grew, he slowly came into his own as a cleric, though his training and knowledge made him generalize; he prefered to call out to all the goodly Dwarven gods, since they all played a powerful part in the guardianship of Citadel Adbar's defenses.At the age of 57, when researching the tenets of Dumathoin, Bruggin stumbled across an odd scroll. It was in the wrong place; the scroll contained knowledges of the arcane sort, and it was in this manner that the now curious young warrior cleric discovered his talent with the magical power called "spellfire". His joy was such that he continued to explore his talent with it, though he was limited to simply healing small wounds, and was far better at simply releasing it as destructive power. When Bruggin was 59 years of age, his parents both passed away battling orcs who attacked their caravan. Bruggin watched, helpless and dismayed before a scrying pool as his father, Gorrum the Mighty Hearted finally fell under the bite of crude spears and clubs. His mother, rushing to his side to see if she could aid him, gave in to a brief moment of dismay to find Gorrum already dead... Bruggin dismissed the magic of the scrying before he witnessed the death of his other parent.Upon their return, the caravan reported that the death of the patriarch and matriarch had not been the only blows to fall on Clan Torunn; all but three of the remaining Clan members, save for Bruggin, had been slain in the defense of the precious supplies that Citadel Adbar could not produce itself. All the slain were recovered, and when asked what he wished done with his parents and family, he declared that he wanted them given warrior pyres on the mountainside, and that he would lay claim to his father's helm and axe, that he might take up his father's path in his stead. His wish granted, the last of the Torunn's tended to his dead clanfolk and took to the foothills around Citadel Adbar.For many decades, Bruggin fought in the name of Citadel Adbar and King Harbromm, slaying orcs and other fell creatures in defense of his home. Never once in his life did he raise hammer to steel in a forge; ever was his hammer wielded against a foe. After a time, he took up the mantle of a cleric of Clanggedin, god of strength and battle. His chanting rolled over the din of battles raised to the heavens in Clanggedin's name, and soon the mighty warrior priest made a distinction for himself as an errant warrior, a loner who's fervent might made a powerful ally in battle... if one could convince Bruggin to lend his strength to group efforts.After more time and expirimentation, Bruggin discovered how to expand his utility of spellfire, improving his healing abilities immensely and learning how to absorb more magical energy than before. So elated was he when he learned the secret to releasing multiple blasts that he immediately sought out a hill giant. For some reason, the giant wasn't nearly as impressed as the young arcanist who was studying and recording Bruggin's skill with spellfire was, but Bruggin was later noted to have said, "Ah well. The ugly bastard made a nice fire."Bruggin caught wind that something had happened in Silverymoon about the time that grumblings began to rise saying that he had no place in Citadel Adbar for his wild, carefree nature. Also disliked was his cavalier attitude toward battle, as well as the almost unharnessable energy of the Dwarf. Feeling a need to go out and test himself in a world full of challenges that were different from his mountain home, Bruggin packed up for a long journey, tagging along with Harbromm's guard after seeing to it that affairs were set aright in Citadel Adbar.
